Unclear The further condition under which the override applies is not clear.
What
Managed settings are settings an organisation applies centrally. Environment variables set in managed settings now also replace a session's values when Claude Code runs inside the desktop app, and under one further condition. Before, this applied only to a fixed list of variable names. Claude Code says when it uses a value from managed settings in place of the one the session had.
Why
In the desktop app, managed settings can now override more of a session's environment.
